Responsible Gaming at abce67
— Play Smart, Stay in Control

1 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

abce67 operates as Bangladesh's premier online casino and sports betting platform with a genuine commitment to player welfare. We firmly believe that gambling, when approached with awareness and self-discipline, is a legitimate and enjoyable form of entertainment for adults. However, we also recognise that for a small proportion of players, gambling can become problematic — and it is our responsibility to do everything within our power to minimise that risk.

Our responsible gaming framework is not a compliance box-ticking exercise. It represents a core part of how abce67 does business. We have invested in technology that detects early warning signs of problem gambling, trained our customer support team to identify and sensitively respond to at-risk players, and built self-management tools that are easy to access directly from your account dashboard — without the need to contact support.

abce67 also recognises the cultural context of the Bangladesh market. For many players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and other cities, online gaming represents a new and exciting form of entertainment. We are committed to ensuring that this entertainment remains positive. Our responsible gaming message is therefore not a warning to be ignored — it is a practical framework that helps every abce67 player enjoy the platform safely and sustainably over the long term.

2 Age Restriction — 18+ Only

abce67 is strictly an adult platform. Access to real-money gambling products — including cricket betting, live casino games, slots, crash games, and fishing games — is permitted only to individuals who are aged 18 years or above. This age requirement applies to all players regardless of their location within Bangladesh.

How we enforce the 18+ rule:

• Registration declaration: All users must confirm their age during the account registration process. Creating an account on abce67 constitutes a declaration that you are 18 years of age or older.
• KYC age verification: Before any withdrawal is processed, abce67 requires players to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification using a valid Bangladesh National ID Card (NID) or passport. These documents confirm your date of birth, enabling abce67 to verify your age independently of your self-declaration.
• Account suspension for underage play: If abce67's compliance team determines — through KYC review or any other means — that a player is under 18, the account will be permanently suspended immediately. Any funds deposited by an underage player will be returned to the originating payment method (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, or other) after deducting any winnings, which will be forfeited in full.
• Parental controls: If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing abce67, we strongly recommend using parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites. Please also contact us at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

4 Self-Exclusion Programme

Self-exclusion is abce67's most robust responsible gaming tool. It is designed for players who feel that their gambling has moved beyond the point where lighter-touch tools — such as deposit limits or time-outs — are sufficient. If you believe you have a gambling problem, or if someone who cares about you has raised concerns about your play, self-exclusion is the right step to take.

How self-exclusion works on abce67:

5 Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling is characterised by a persistent and recurring urge to gamble despite the negative consequences it creates in a person's life — financial, emotional, social, or occupational. It affects a small but significant minority of gamblers and can develop gradually over time, often without the player fully recognising what is happening.

abce67 encourages all players to periodically reflect honestly on their gambling behaviour. The following are common warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. If several of these apply to you, it is important to take action — starting with the self-exclusion and support tools described on this page.

• Chasing losses: Placing larger bets or continuing to play after a losing session in an attempt to win back what you have lost.
• Spending more than intended: Regularly depositing more money than you planned to spend, or finding that your gambling budget has expanded significantly over time.
• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose: Using funds allocated for rent, food, utility bills, bKash transfers to family, or other essential expenses to fund your gambling activity.
• Preoccupation with gambling: Thinking about gambling constantly — planning your next session, reliving past bets, or researching cricket odds and slot strategies even when you are not playing.
• Hiding your gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money you spend gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, or wherever you are based.
• Borrowing money to gamble: Taking personal loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit facilities specifically to fund your gambling activity.
• Inability to stop or take breaks: Finding it genuinely difficult to stop playing once you have started, or feeling anxious or irritable when you are not able to access gambling.
• Gambling affecting relationships or work: Neglecting professional responsibilities, missing important events, or experiencing conflict in personal relationships as a result of gambling behaviour.
• Using gambling to escape problems: Turning to abce67 or any other gambling platform as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties.

Recognising these patterns is the first and most important step. If you identify with any of the above, please use abce67's self-exclusion tool immediately and consider reaching out to a qualified counselling service. You are not alone — problem gambling is a recognised health condition, and effective support is available.

6 Self-Assessment Questionnaire

The following questions are adapted from widely used problem gambling screening tools. Answer honestly — your responses are not recorded by abce67. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to activate a time-out or self-exclusion, and to seek professional support.

7 Setting Your Limits — A Practical Guide

One of the most effective ways to maintain healthy gambling habits is to establish clear personal limits before you begin playing — and to stick to them regardless of whether you are winning or losing. abce67's account dashboard makes this straightforward. Here is a practical guide to using the platform's limit tools effectively:

7.1 Setting a Deposit Limit

• Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits.
• Choose a time frame: daily, weekly, or monthly. We recommend starting with a monthly limit that reflects your total discretionary entertainment budget — not your income.
• Enter your limit in Bangladeshi Taka (৳). Be realistic. The limit should represent an amount you are fully comfortable losing without affecting your household finances or essential bKash commitments.
• Confirm the limit. It takes effect immediately. Any attempt to deposit beyond the limit will be declined by the platform automatically.
• To increase your limit, a 24-hour waiting period applies — this cooling-off window is intentional and helps prevent impulsive decisions to raise spending during or after a session.

7.2 Using Loss Limits Effectively

• A loss limit works alongside your deposit limit. While a deposit limit caps how much you put in, a loss limit caps how much of that amount you can lose before play is automatically paused.
• Set your loss limit at or below your deposit limit for the same period. For example, a monthly deposit limit of ৳5,000 combined with a monthly loss limit of ৳5,000 ensures you cannot lose more than your full monthly budget under any scenario.
• If you reach your loss limit mid-session, abce67 will notify you and suspend further play until the limit period resets or you choose to reduce the limit.

7.3 Managing Session Time

• Set a session time limit that matches a realistic break point in your day — for example, 60 or 90 minutes.
• When the limit is reached, take the reminder seriously. Stand up, get a glass of water, and step away from the screen. Extended uninterrupted gambling sessions are closely associated with poor decision-making and increased losses.
• Enable the Reality Check feature to display your net position at regular intervals. Knowing your real-time win/loss status removes the cognitive distortion that makes sessions feel more positive than they actually are.

8 Get Help & Support

If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem for you or someone you know, abce67 encourages you to seek help without delay. The following support channels are available directly through abce67, as well as through external professional organisations that provide confidential advice and counselling services:

abce67 takes every responsible gaming request seriously. Our support agents are trained to handle these conversations with sensitivity and confidentiality. There is no penalty or stigma attached to requesting a time-out, deposit limit, or self-exclusion — these are mature, responsible decisions that we fully support and actively encourage.

We also encourage family members and friends who are concerned about a loved one's gambling behaviour to contact us. We can provide guidance on the options available and, where appropriate, take protective measures on an account with the player's consent.
